1 - Introduction

1.1Introduction

The General Electric (GE) Digital Energy NetPro 19” UPS, a truly on-line uninterruptible power supply, protects your equipment from all forms of power interference, including complete power failures.

1.2Safety Rules

ξ CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. The UPS contains batteries. The appliance outlets may be electrically live, even when the UPS is disconnected from the mains.

ξ The UPS contains potentially hazardous voltages. Do not open the UPS, there are no user serviceable parts inside.

ξ All maintenance and service work, except for replacement of the batteries, should be performed by qualified service personnel.

1.3Transport / Storage

ξNo liability can be accepted for any transport damage when the equipment is shipped in non- original packaging.

ξDuring transport the battery drawer must either be removed or fixed with two screws at the rear side of the UPS (A, fig. 1).

ξStore the UPS in a dry location with the batteries in a fully charged state. Storage temperature must be within -20 +45 θC. If the unit is stored for a period exceeding 3 months, optimal battery lifetime is obtained if the storage temperature does not exceed 25°C.

ξIf the unit is stored for an extended period of time, the batteries must be recharged periodically. Be sure that the battery drawer is connected to the UPS. Subsequently connect the unit to a wall outlet and recharge the batteries for 24 hours:

-if the storage temperature is within -20 and +30°C: every 3 months,

-if the storage temperature is within -20 and +45°C: every month.

Please note that with completely discharged batteries the UPS will not start at all. External charging or replacement of the batteries will be necessary.

2 - Installation

The shipping box contains a NetPro 19” UPS, two IEC male-female power cords, a data cable, a CD ROM and this manual. Inspect the UPS for damage after unpacking. If any damage is present please immediately notify the carrier and place of purchase.

IMPORTANT:

Before making any connection and switching on the NetPro 19” UPS, please check the following conditions:

ξyour mains supply is 220 - 240 Volts and 50 Hz (if the mains frequency is 60Hz, the output frequency of the UPS can be changed, see section 3.4), and

ξthe total power demand of the connected equipment does not exceed the rated output power of

the NetPro 19” UPS (indicated on the rating label).

WARNING

Connecting the UPS output to neutral or ground will result in a malfunctioning UPS.

2.1Installation Rules

ξThe UPS is intended to be used in normal domestic and office situations.

ξProtect the UPS, according to the wiring rules, with a 16A D-type fuse.

ξThe UPS must be powered from a single phase grounded wall outlet. Do not use extension cords.

ξAvoid locations that are excessively humid, near water, near heat sources or in direct sunlight.

ξThe ambient temperature should not exceed 40θC. Optimal battery lifetime is obtained if the ambient temperature does not exceed 30θC.

ξIt is important that ventilation air can move freely around and through the unit. Do not block the air vents.

ξDo not plug appliances such as electric heaters, toasters and vacuum cleaners into the UPS.

ξBe careful when connecting laser printers: be sure that the demanded power does not exceed the capacity of the UPS.

ξThe sum of the leakage currents of the UPS and the connected loads should not exceed 3.5mA.
